英语短语 "in order to do" 的核心含义是 "为了做……",用于明确表达做某事的目的或意图,强调行动的目标性。
"in order to" 是目的状语短语,连接“行动”与“目的”,说明“为什么要做某事”。例如:
I study hard in order to get good grades.(我努力学习是为了取得好成绩。)
She practices piano every day in order to win the competition.(她每天练钢琴是为了赢得比赛。)
句首:用逗号隔开,突出目的(更正式)。
例:In order to catch the early bus, I got up at 5 a.m.(为了赶上早班车,我5点就起床了。)
句中:直接连接主语和谓语,无需逗号(更常见)。
例:We need to save money in order to buy a new car.(我们需要存钱买新车。)
"in order to" 的逻辑主语(即“做目的动作的人/物”)必须与句子的主语一致,否则需改用 "in order that + 从句"(从句需带主语)。
正确(主语一致):He works overtime in order to earn more money.(他加班是为了多挣钱。)→ “earn”的主语是“he”,与句子主语一致。
错误(主语不一致):I woke up early in order to my sister catch the bus.(×)
修正(用从句):I woke up early in order that my sister could catch the bus.(我早起是为了让我妹妹能赶上公交车。)→ 从句主语“my sister”与句子主语“I”不一致,需用“in order that”。
在“to”前加“not”,表示“为了不做……”(避免某个结果)。
例:
Please speak clearly in order not to be misunderstood.(请说清楚,以免被误解。)
She walked quietly in order not to wake the baby.(她轻手轻脚走路,以免吵醒宝宝。)
